Who is making the triple oil/oil/fuel gauge?

It was Mark (Marks914), then he moved it over to www.newvintageusa.com. I think I heard that they're not doing them any more, or maybe they could but only as a special order. There was a thread in the Vendors section.

Palo Alto speedo and North Hollwood speedo were doing them also.

Yeah, what he said....but they are $$ compared to what Mark used to offer the 4-gauge for. I REALLY should have bought one when he was selling

Maybe someone can convince him to do another run of the quads....

I wish someone would just print a custom face or some kind of UV proof decal kit...I could do the rest.

This comes up regularly now. Many of us would love a triple or quad gauge. Who among us has the necessary manufacturing access and skills? Whoever it is, I am jealous of that person.

I know I will be needing some gauge work for my Six. I want to add the fuel gauge into the tach (like a turbo boost gauge) and then have a triple gauge for oil pressure, oil temperature and voltage.

I like the quad gauge but it looks a little crowded for my taste thus the fuel gauge going into the tachometer.

I have one of Mark's quad gauge setups in my V8 conversion car (works great, BTW). The down side is that the oil pressure part of the guage (which is at 9 o'clock) partially is obscured by the steering wheel.

I have only a few kits left. I made the mistake of posting on Pelican and sold/built several recently. Let me know if you want one. I'm running out of kits and when they are gone, they are gone. MarkS is the one who worked with me to get the lettering worked out once and for all. Then he kept using my artwork. I really didn't care as he wasn't using VDO parts in his and they just didn't look right to me.

These are/were kits that you assemble (or pay me to assemble if you provide the donor gauges).

Here are the instructions:

Do PDFs' not work correctly as attachments? Anyone get the PDF to display? I can't see it to make sure it worked.

I can see it, and my 'home computer' is a phone.
I may have to get in touch with you soon about one...don't really care about a voltmeter anyway.

I've never been able to download .pdf files from 914world.com. It's not scientific, but over time I've seen many others complain that they cannot download / read them either.

For example, I can't download your instructional .pdf file using any browser on any of my computers.

Sad.

PM sent...

I copy and paste the PDF photos into word before I post just because of that!

Hi John,

Could you pm me what it would cost to build a gauge like yours but using #'s for the temp/oil press. (like the 69-73 style gauge). Also the parts that I would need to supply you. It would be going into my 70 914-6 with a 2.7 RS..

Thanks,

Luke

Guys, I've been flooded with PM's and I need to check to see what EXACTLY I have left.

The latest order I have is to a gentleman in Luxembourg for (2) assembled kits. He supplied the donor 914 fuel gauges and the 911 Temp/Press gauges.

The kits are $120.00 each and assembly of donor gauges is $60.00 each kit.

So, to answer many questions, a completed triple gauge from me would cost $180.00 plus shipping back to you if you provide me with plug-in style 914 fuel gauge and plug-in style 911 Oil Temp/Press gauge.

Remember, the quality of the completed unit depends on the quality of the donor gauges.

I do not provide numbered Oil Temp face plates and I do not provide oil Press face plates for the 911 gauges. I personally don't feel they add anything except clutter to the finished gauges. The VDO gauges are ok at giving relative temps or pressure, but they are not 100% accurate.

I will be checking in the morning exactly how many more kits I can offer for sale, but I really feel that I need to give Joe, (the original poster of this thread) the first right of refusal. I have dealt with him in the past and I feel that I owe it to Joe to give him that right.

Thanks for your interest,

John

Please add me to the list for a kit and I would like you to assemble it for me.

Thanks

David

Sweet!!! I need to think about one of these for my GT Clone..

John,

If you haven't already, add me to your list also.
I have some of the parts/gauges needed to complete this.
I'm waiting to get in the 911 donor gauge.
I'll wait to hear back from you on how many kits that you have available.
Keep us posted.

Thanks,

Luke

Me also on the list thanks

Pm sent...count me in for one.
Thanks

I will take a kit if they are still available.

I only have parts available to offer (5) kits.

So far, I have received PM's from:

1. Cairo94507 (confirmed) (cancelled 3/14-2013)
2. rcktmn247 (confirmed)
3. clapeza (confirmed) (paid)
4. michael7810 (confirmed) (paid)
5. r3dplanet (confirmed) (paid)
6. Steve <--- Next in line (contacted)
7. dereknle
8. JmuRiz
9. dfrank
10. Justin Fischer
xx. Craig Downs (it appears as if I owe him one from way back and not included in the (5) available kits. He will be receiving his when I get his address)
11. 0396
12. Harpo
13. Luke M
14. sixnotfour
15. 02loftsmoor
16. jbachert


That is (11) eleven parties that showed interest. This is the order that people inquired, but with only (5) available, I have to narrow down the list.

The original poster, Joe O'Brien has not responded with any interest, so here is the deal, I will offer the remaining (5) kits for sale in order that they sent me PM's.


The price is $120 plus shipping per kit. If you send me donor gauges and want me to assemble the kit, I will return a completed gauge for $180 plus shipping.

If you are still interested, please PM me by noon Central time on Monday 3/11/2013 to make the list for the last (5) kits. I have not investigated making more of these kits, but if enough interest is there, I can see if another run is feasible and what the costs will be which will set pricing on any future kits that I may happen to be made.

EDIT: Even more names added to the list.....

I did not realize that you had to PM you John. I responded to this post on March 9th not that it will make any difference. Please add me to the list

My apologies, but I have more people interested, than kits, and this isn't my thread. It looks like I hijacked it. My apologies to the Admin.

I'm not on the list but want to be. Maybe you missed my earlier post on here. I sent you a pm to be added on the list.

Luke

I put a PM for a tiple gauge kit

All of the first 5 responders have confirmed that they want the kits, so I'm sorry to say that they are all spoken for at this point. However, if the rest of you will kindly confirm that you do want kits or assembled gauges by sending me a PM, I am considering making another run of these kits. I need to put pricing together and I will need some time. I'm guessing I can get pricing and lead time together in a few days. At that time, I will make an attempt to estimate a lead time to complete the new run of kits. Hopefully, I will be able to hold pricing where it is at or only slightly higher.

Please stay tuned.

Cool deal, thanks for the updates...I'm in if you make another run of them (but you already knew that:) )

John,

What would the kits include ?
I'm trying to figure out if I can do this or just pay you to take care of it.
Is there a core gauge/parts that you would need and if so which ones?
I'm in for 2 gauges for sure, so keep me on the list.

John, add me to the list of wants if you do another run.

Also, would you still do the silver dot if we provide the necessary parts ?

Good point, I was wondering how some have the dot and others don't...

John,

I am in if you do a new run of kits. I was not on your earlier list. Thanks.

A second run is underway. Please let me know if you want a kit........... Those first in line will be notified when the next run is in stock.

$125 per kit + shipping...

Paypal sent last Friday for kit.
Thanks John!!!

Great news! Hope I make it in on this run!

Sorry I didn't do a better job of introducing myself to the forum with my first post, but a friend of mine pointed me here for the three-way gauge kit so I won't have to butcher the dash of my 3-gauge 912!

I don't have a 914 yet, but my interest was piqued by a ride in a hot 2.7 on an autocross course- what a rush!

email on the way!

I will take one. Will send a PM

Anyone from the original 5 remaining kits got theirs yet?

I was in the original group, got confirmation from John that I made the time cut-off, sent payment, got confirmation from him that he got the payment, and he said he was sending the gauge kit out later in the week.

I haven't received anything. I've sent him multiple PMs, with no response. His member listing says he hasn't been active in about 10 days.

I'm not trying to suggest he ripped me off. He's been a member here for a long time, and has a good reputation, and I believe he has a quality product. Has anyone had contact with him? I understand life happens, but I'd like to know if I'm going to get my kit sooner or later...

Chester

(of course, posting this usually means mine will show up tomorrow!)

Two weeks ago I sent him a PM asking what was up, and he told me he would ship that or the next day. It never showed up.

I'm a touch vexed. It's been five weeks now. I know better than most how life gets in the way, but if it were me I would find some help to make good on my promises.

Same here. I sent multiple emails and PMs and he hasn't responded.

I got mine a week ago. He is really busy and communication was spotty at times.
He responded quick by email and phone. He will not be contacted if you post here.

Still nothing. Two more messages ignored. And his profile shows that he's been here recently and has therefore read and ignored my messages.

That's $125.80 down the the damn tubes.

I also found out when I went to initiate a resolution with PayPal that if you send money as a personal gift, you're not allowed to resolved anything with them.

This teaches me that all transactions I make via PayPal to sellers or vendors here get paid for goods, regardless of their desire. I think others should be aware of this since so often sellers here want you to pay them as a gift so they don't pick up the charges. Well, now I know the downside to that.

Just a touch pissed.

You're probably fine. He's been a member since 04 and has over 3000 posts. He probably figures he will wait for it to arrive if he's sent it already...

I had them put together one that has numbers for the oil temp and pressure.

I got a message from him a couple days ago. He said he did some refinishing on the kits, and that he would be sending them out shortly. I still haven't gotten mine yet, though. I think we're going to be ok.

Everyone should have their kits.

I will have some more shortly. I won't take any payments until they are ready to ship out.

Here is the latest.

Rotated numbers for the pressure and temp gauges.

This one is sold and shipping shortly.

Please keep in mind, that this is not a business and I have a life. sorry if I am slow.

It would be civil if you would either amend your post or at least acknowledge that you did get your kit.

I may be slow, but at least I'm not as slow as the GT headlight kit guy.
